Wow! This is a great response to the prompt — and the two previous poems meld extremely well. I read it twice — and then once aloud. It magnifies the meaning when read aloud — the sounds of the words.
Love the use of the word “concrescence.” The sound of it goes with the other words here and the meaning of it the image. The brilliance of Shelly (was that who wrote Frankenstein)—to piece together this creature. And your use of the words cadence and caress — that hard “c” sound here at the end. For me, the word “cadaver” came to mind when I saw cadence — and how appropriate is that for Frankenstein — the essence of cadavers reassembled and jolted alive? My mind just keeps leaping here 🙂 Well, I’m awake now this morning! 🙂

Excellent poem. I like Frankenstein and music. One of my favorite cable series is Penny Dreadful. I keep seejng that characterization of Frankenstein’s monster in this. The character is played by Rory Kinnear, a most accomplishecd Shakespearean acgor with a beautiful voice. There are a couple of instances where he quotes some poetry and at one point dances a small impromptu waltz with another main character. I kept seeing the contrasts in the character in this. Excellent job of redoing these two poems. Sometimes playing Frankenstein with poems works wonderfully well.

I did too! I can hardly wait for season 3 to begin. Every trailer I can find Ihave watched. And getting Ethan back into the mix…yay team. But I regret the killing of Sembene. So much depth and strength in his character. G
